The primary goal of this project was to exchange best practices and integrate scientific research and proven experiences to enhance learning conditions in schools and break activities that support learning. By improving organization and break activities, we aimed to boost students' learning opportunities and foster inclusion. The target group included school leaders, timetable coordinators, leisure-time pedagogues, and staff working with student councils, ultimately benefiting students through better learning conditions, improved breaks, and practical student democracy. Activities were designed to challenge existing views on school organization and leverage the strengths of involved partners. This involved sharing best practices related to school organization, break activities, and student council operations, combined with theoretical insights from scientific research and proven experiences in various project areas. Additionally, we sought to enhance networking between schools and student councils through mobilities and local/regional dissemination activities.
This project was initiated to enhance educational conditions and foster inclusion in participating schools. We identified the need to educate school leaders and those responsible for timetables on how scheduling and school organization impact inclusion. Additionally, we recognized the importance of understanding how break organization and activities support inclusion. We also aimed to enhance practical student democracy and provide opportunities for students to influence school organization. The idea emerged during a study visit in Romania, where discussions highlighted differences and similarities in school scheduling, organization, break activities, and student involvement. The international context was crucial, as we sought to leverage the strengths of involved schools, combine them with scientific research and proven experiences, and share them through guidelines in three key areas. Our goal was to find better solutions for school organization, increase student democracy, and develop scheduling based on scientific principles and student needs, ultimately creating long-term development plans tailored to each school's circumstances.
